This is the first class where I have not written out my notes by hand. Evernote allowed me to take down all my notes electronically, and organize them in one place. I usually tend to be traditional when it comes to taking notes in class. I was hesitant at first, but after I got the hang of it I realized it can be a very helpful resource.
I made a notebook for every book we read in class. I have a notebook for my adopt-a-book project, Ravitch, Tyack and Cuban, and Kozol books. I also made a notebook for class notes. I found it easier to have a notebook for each book to keep it organized and easy to access. It is easier for me to find the information I am looking for by having all of the books separated. Once class is finished, I will combine all of my articles, screenshots, books and class notes into one notebook (or a few) and label it “EDC 503”.
I used the Evernote Web Clipper and Skitch to upload all of my graphs for our context report. I didn't know what I was doing at first, but I was excited when I figured out how the screen clipper worked. This is going to be a valuable resource to use in my graduate classes. Like most students, I find I am consumed with projects and presentations throughout the semester. Instead of transferring statistics and data from websites to PowerPoint’s, I am excited to have learned how to take a snapshot of the screen, and post it onto a PowerPoint. This will also be helpful when there are portions of website that I want to use for presentation purposes.
I used Evernote to store articles from the author of my adopt-a-book. I found it very helpful to have all of the articles in one place. I am going to continue to use this in my classes this semester for research purposes. I can see how keeping all of my articles in a notebook will be much easier to refer to instead of downloading them to my computer in a resource file. If there is a picture on the article, Evernote displays it which makes it easy for me to scroll through to get to the article I am looking for. It was very easy to load my articles into Evernote and when I am researching this fall, it will save me a lot of time and energy to just click download to Evernote for all the articles I want to save.
I have downloaded the app for Evernote on my phone as well. I have not used it, but only because I have not needed to. I believe I will use it in class when I need to take a picture of the whiteboard. I will also use it in the clinic because we have many books/resources that we cannot remove from the clinic. Last semester my cohort and I had to take pictures of information in books and email it to ourselves. It will be much faster and easier when I can use my Evernote app to take a picture and send it straight to my resources notebook.
If this is something I find I am using quite frequently next semester, I might go ahead and buy the full version. I found I used my Evernote too much this month and now I cannot add anything; I used up the monthly allowance. If I had saved my pictures for the context report to my computer it would have saved me a lot of room but it seemed so much easier just to save it in Evernote.
I am very glad that I was introduced to Evernote. As soon as class is over I am going to try to combine all my articles, books and class notes into one notebook, and make new notebooks for my fall classes. I am still learning how to use the tabs. It is taking me a little longer to figure that out, but once I figure out how the tabs work, I plan to make a resource tab where I can send all my articles for class projects/presentations. I also plan to make a tab with resources for therapeutic techniques/practices. I am constantly saving PDFs for different interventions to my computer and then I am unable to remember where they are. Evernote will be a constant reminder that I have a lot of methods already and can continue to add to them in one organized location. It will be very useful in my career as a therapist to have a specific location for all the resources I've accumulated over the years in an organized way at my disposal.
